Hi All, Glenn's converter is a lot more complicated and ambitious than I had in mind, being a simple ham radio man on 2m/70cm. After all there are lots of SDRs out there with wideband coverage, it seems like covering the same ground differently. I d…

Hi John, This is an 'accessory box' but we all have our own definition of what it has to do! The problem is everyone will want some thing different. I put in a 5V switcher having found the 7805 replacements to be the cheapest way. People are hyper-a…

As mine was running since 2017, and outlived an Apple Macbook pro, not surprising there is the odd glitch!
-
Better do that backup, but tomorrow, its late Boxing day in the UK.

Yes, I looked exhaustively through all the 'stuck' threads. The original SD is long since lost/overwritten as this kiwi was working since 2017. I keep 2 rotating backups. After looking through forests of messages generated by make clean/make/make in…

Works here.... My local club uses ant-switch to select their 2m converter. I will see what they think of this method of stopping random users switching back to HF.

Hi John, Mine only covers 1 band but the transverter board used also has a 70cm version. http://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2171/kiwi-with-2m-converter-switch-added#latest

Hello, The de-emphasis setting is unsuitable for NBFM. The value is for wideband FM (broadcast). http://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2172/nbfm-on-2m-de-emphasis-values-too-fast

Thanks John! It works well here. My local club will be extremely pleased to see the correct frequency readout. This removes a source of confusion, as people were putting in 500kHz to get 145.500MHz, instead of 29.500MHz. The page reload dialogue mak…

The signal is still there, hardly any different with the antenna disconnected. So it must come from the power or network. I tried 2 different buck converters which made no difference to the main spurii. The nature of the KiwiSDR with so many connec…

Yes, But ham radio products attract large tarriffs so the DX Engineering parts will be expensive outside the States. Look at the price of Elecraft equipment in UK magazines and you will get a shock! I tried all sorts of ferrite chokes. The problem …
-
Thankyou John! It works really well. Tested in Opera + Firefox (MacOS).

Did a remove and re-install. Now it works! No idea why it didn't before, I put in "beagle-gpio" during the install. For the record the KiwiSDR version is V214. As promised J8 pin 11 now changes state to 2.5V. My switching hardware is not…

Hi Gents, (Image) Deny antenna switching is set to 'NO' and the other 2 deny options to YES. I restarted the whole system by power cycling but no difference. Your switching works Martin and you are at V213, seems unlikely V214 broke it. I will tr…
-
Ah Thanks, I will go back and change it. As no markers are entered in that mode as standard, there was no "templates"!
-
Well, they think's it's somehow tracking them. By coincidence two people were in the incorrect city locations then returned to the Portsmouth area. It started a rumour that it tracks you somehow when the two people were on a local radio net. I'm c…
-
Yes I agree, and there are more important things that need attention on the wish/bug list. Nowt strange as folk they say over here, I get regular emails asking why the location is wrong, and give the same answer you do. People seem more interested …

Yes John, Silly me it does time out, I don't know how that box got zero'd Inactivity does time out also. -Rob

OK, will try and report back ASAP. -Rob

Thanks for looking at this John. I have not edited the kiwi.config manually, and the single IP command should not be enabled here. My system runs off a solar panel, and due to the winter has only been swithed on part-time. Anyway I did a beagle re…
-
For the record, I finally got a TP-Link AC750, running in client mode, works fine.
-
Works perfect on V1.116 for me. The lower latency allows it to be used with a co-located transmitter in a live QSO. A fun echo effect can be created, the shorter delay/latency is similar to the time taken by a radio signal to go around the earth! …

Interesting little item to get a micro-USB from standard USB: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2016-Mini-USB-2-0-Micro-USB-OTG-Converter-Adapter-Cellphone-TO-US-Y2-/252970467114?hash=item3ae636ff2a:g:p-0AAOSwGtRXxyPf Moins cher, as the French say!

I agree with Martin, Having a high impedance choke plus "ground" on the unbalanced side helps a lot. There's no such thing as direct RF ground it's more a ground impedance. But if your choke(s) is high-Z enough, it will be like putting a …

Thankyou sir!
-
Yes, but it is calibrated in 10dB steps. Having to read it like an analog oscilloscope is a bit painful, but I admit it's better than just the standard 'S' meter.
-
This was indeed due to a fault with my old router. Virgin will replace a router free if it's more than 3 years old, and they are satisfied there is some kind of hardware fault.

Hi Dave, I tried forcing the IP address on the Beaglebone to 192.168.0.5 but it bricked it until I re-loaded from micro-SD. Reserving a DHCP address in the router to the one that the Beagle goes to once every 20 power cycles doesn't help either. Tha…
